In Memoriam of an Immemorable BoyA Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
Just justify your entitlement.
Responsibilities removed, Stripped of wasted youth, You have everything to prove. Establish your sense of innocence As you tell yourself your truth. It's really nothing new. It's just you being you. Your personalities ill-remembered For not having one at all. You've never faced your problems Just let the pieces fall. You are the homogeny Of mediocrity That's proliferated in Sloth. You'll find your destiny Is fatality With only a whisper and a Cough. Burn another bridge, Dear Boy. Cast them aside without a thought. Old toys discarded without joy Falling down to rust and rot. Now, take your time and tacitly think yourself to death. Perhaps, you'll do some good with that final bated breath. You've lived a life of worry that poisoned all your friends Till you found yourself with no one else up until the end. © 2018 Dennis ShanabergReviews
